As these intrusions were investigated, staff found mold growth behind <br /> walls under the windows, and in building's heating and ventilating system. Based on this <br /> finding, the County retained a forensic engineer to determine the cause of the water intrusions. <br /> The engineer found that the intrusions were linked to the roof, windows, and split face concrete <br /> blocks. <br /> Due to the extensive work that will need to be completed for the repairs, the Emergency <br /> Services building has been removed from service and will not be utilized for operations until the <br /> cleaning, remediation, roof repairs, block sealing, and other repairs are complete. Boomerang <br /> Design was retained to provide a complete design for the remediation, repairs and <br /> construction. The prevalence and extent of mold growth requires the entire facility to be <br /> cleaned, and remediated including the removal of all drywall inside the facility along the <br /> external walls. This will include removing all drywall, existing Styrofoam insulation and hat <br /> channels down to the concrete blocks. All contents inside the facility are to be professionally <br /> cleaned in addition to the remediation and restoration of the drywall, insulation, block sealing, <br /> and roof repairs. <br /> The scope of work includes: <br /> • cleaning all contents within the entire building, <br /> • removing all water damaged and mold contaminated building materials, <br /> • providing testing services to ensure no other contaminates are found within the building, <br />
